I haven't been here for a few years, I was just reading the Tamaskan Wikipedia page when I found out this happened a few months back. I went to check on the forum, expecting a very lengthy thread, but found nothing. I also found this video about the event. Warning, in the text (no speaking) segment ...

5bMHmxfKzlc Now, let's not talk about Millan, just about those "wolfdogs". :mrgreen: I got in a little bit of an argument about this on YouTube, with someone who claims to have "worked with wolves for 10 years!" and thought I've "got to be *** kidding!" when I said I see little to no wolf at all in...

So I was in Visby, Gotland from sunday to wednesday for the annual Medieval Week there. On tuesday when walking through town, I saw a dog and thought quickly "elkhound" but immediately noticed "no - that's no elkhound!" Brownish, different face, and a straight tail. Clearly not a husky, Saarloos or ...

Nice post, :) and I agree about the "symbolism" of it, that might make people upset. The problem is that zoos also operate from a business perspective: charging entry fees; selling and trading animals to other zoos; providing enclosures where the animals can be observed as a form of entertainment (a...

What's so bad about letting kids (and adults) see what chopping up an animal looks like? Everyone of us knew about that a couple of generations ago, it was everyday life. I doubt they will be traumatized, and like I said, they were free to leave. No one forced them to look.

Now, I don't see how this is any worse than all the cattle, pigs and chickens killed every day to feed us. (Lions need to eat too, and if not this animal, some other would have to take his place.) Marius at least lived a good life. And the giraffe isn't endangered either. But I do agree it's weird t...

Hi, you seem very responsible by looking so carefully into this, which is awesome. :) I also decided not to get a Tamaskan (mostly due to the separation anxiety, car sickness, exercise needs and off-leash problems present in some lines), but I'm just thinking about your other choice, the Elkhound. I...

Prong collars are not painful and do not cause injury - properly used. IMproperly used, any collar or training device can cause physical or psychological trauma. Choke chains can severely injure the trachea or neck bones, haltees/"gentle" leaders can scrape the dog's eyes or nose, and injure its nec...

http://i37.tinypic.com/29e3afn.jpg I hadn't seen several of these pictures before, and I have to say, you could actually make me believe this was a real wolf. :o (And normally I don't think CsV are that similar to wolves at all.) Maybe I would expect less pointy ears and a slightly longer face, but...

Thanks everyone. :) yes she is brindle she is gorgeous! I normally don't like brindle very much but it suits her perfectly love the name too :mrgreen: I didn't like brindle either initially, I used to think they looked like dirty things that had been walking in rainy weather, and a car drove by and ...

http://s16.postimg.org/mues5v2h1/P1030891.jpg Kisses. :3 http://s16.postimg.org/xnhp0mudh/P1040567.jpg That look. She has cropped ears - I don't know why - so that only her eartips are cut. I guess that's what gave her that name. http://s16.postimg.org/j30m5szet/P1040577.jpg Best friends. :) http:/...

No Tamaskan or other "wolf" for me this time, I got myself a "hyena" instead. ;) Jokes aside, there was for the time being not any breed that I *really* wanted (at least no one that I could easily get, or probably, handle), so I stumbled across a dog on a rescue site I was already familiar with. I w...

You may be thinking of the American Alsatian or Alsatian Shepalute, which is a work in progress to try to re-create the look of the Direwolf. http://shepaluteclub.tripod.com/breeders/ I can't say they are succeeding, but if health and temperament is fine, they seem like a good choice for a more natu...

The only time I've actually seen the Sulimov dog, in a documentary they were featured in, the breeder clearly stated that he will never sell his dogs to the public (correct me if I'm wrong, it was in "Science of Dogs" and I can't find it now). And I can't see what they would add to the Tamaskan anyw...

I always perk up when Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs get mentioned, and I think you need to know that wolfdog.org forum is not a forum where you should go searching for general CSW people's opinions;] Of course, I realize not nearly everyone has the opinion of those I quoted, and owners/breeders of most ...

People shouldn't believe the commercial speeches of wd breeders... Klemperer, for instance, is one of the most dangerous liars in this communauty. But, nevermind. I don't understant "he's more of a "regular" high content wolfdog, right?" ^^' Could you explain what you mean? With "regular" I mean, n...

When I saw him in another thread, I thought he was just a dog you met, but so he's yours? :) I will be really interested in learning more about how this goes, since the idea I've gotten from wolfdog people is that anything above low content "must" be kept in special enclosures, certainly cannot be k...

Wolfdog.org, the Czechoslovakian wolfdog forum. Thread here: http://www.wolfdog.org/forum/showthread.php?t=22613 They're talking about the Kaylee outcross litter. A quote here for example: Can't believe people are involved or want to be involved in this kind of horrible practices. :cry: Unbelieveble...

With practice, I think it's quite easy to tell them apart. :) But then, some low content wolfdogs or wolf-lookalikes can look a lot like some Tamaskans. But to tell a Saarloos, CsV and Tamaskan from each other, I think is rather easy. Saarloos http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0d/Schat...

Is she NAID as in North American or Native American Indian Dog?
Since almost all the NorthAID's I've seen have been either white (arctic) or black phase, and the NativeAID's I've seen have been mostly piebald wolfalikes, I have a hard time placing her.

Indeed. I looked up the Czech wolfdog forum, and my GAWD some hate they threw at the Tamaskan. They were absolutely OUTRAGED that anyone would consider using their breed as an outcross for "filthy mutts"! They were calling all Tamaskan breeders puppy mills and backyard breeders only out to get money...

I'm sure you're doing great work for the little bird, but were you sure there were no parents to take care of it when you took it?
Because most of the time, they are around and will watch and feed their young, even if they are on the ground.

Finally proof that there is wolf in the ANCD? From Cindy at Sybil's Den. (http://www.raskbb.com/sybilsden/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=10187&start=60) Info found out on the ancd line "Xena is a wolfdog bred by Karen Evans of Wichita Falls, TX. Her parents were Ladyhawke and Nighthawke 2, bred by Lynn William...

First, I thought, "Oh, a Japanese breed I haven't heard of?", then I think (and I'm sorry, but it has to be said) - "no, not another one". We already have the Northern Inuit, (British) Utonagan, Tamaskan, Aatu Tamaskan, British Wolfdog, British Timber Dog, British Inuit, Anglo Wulfdog... do we reall...

Anyone know where you can find more names like those of the Sawtooth pack? (Kamots, Chemukh, Matsi, Motomo, Amani, Wahots, Wyakin and Lakota. And of course Shaun Ellis' wolves Yana, Tamaska and also another Matsi.)

I've tried googling native american names but no luck, I find nothing similar.

I know at least one Laika breed was mentioned as an outcross (and the pros and cons of it) in this thread: http://www.tamaskan-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=936 I know breeders have been working very hard on a straight tail, minimizing the curly tail seen in the Siberian Husky . (My cursive.) I'm s...

Ulrika - wolf ruler (English) Varg - wolf (Old Norse) That first one is my second name. :D (Although I spell it with a C.) And the second one is the modern Swedish word for wolf. The G is a J-sound, and the A is not like anything in the English language as far as I know, but if you have seen Avatar...

As far as I know, no one really *knows* how long the domestication process in our other animals really took. It may just have taken a few decades to domesticate the wolf to the point that it got some doggy behaviors, floppy ears and strange coats, who knows? (The oldest skull that is unmistakably do...

I think we have a bit of confusion here. :P I'm not talking abou the coywolf, or the coydog. Literally, COYDWOLF (a coyote X a dog X a wolf) I think it would be interesting to see such an animal. Looking forward to see your answers! :) They are normally just called coydogs. And not that special as I...
